Automator to upload files to ftp server

Hello, I am trying to make an automator task that will activate whenver a new file is added to a local folder. The automator should take the new file, upload it to a remote ftp server, then delete the file.
I figured out how to make a task that uploads to ftp. I need help making the task activate when a new file is put in the folder, and then the task selecting that new file to upload it.

Hi Bob, many ways...

Upload files from FTP server

Hi Friends,
We are loading some files from FTP server into the BW (Datasource)
In the infopackage we have given the setting as 'Load from application server' and have given the file path as it is in application server. No routine has been created.
Files are successfully loading from FTP server to the BW datasource.
My question is:
In the infopackage we have only maintained that it should be loaded from application server and the file path.
But how the system(infopackage) gets to know that from which server(FTP) it should pick. Is there any table to maintain these entries. i.e when infopackage is scheduled it only pings the required server and picks the file with the help of given file path.But how does it know which server it should ping.
Pls help.
Thanks & Regards,
Niku

Hello Niku,
It seems in your case you have only one FTP, and the system is pointing by default to that FTP and picking the required files fro your Info Package.
Normally a Standard ABAP Program RSFTP002 is used to communicate to the FTP Server with the help of RFC . In the Same program you can maintain the credentials ( USerName and password) along with the Source and Destination related properties .
Back to your query , you can check the same in above program ( RSFTP002 ) through SE38 and cross verify your FTP .
Hope this helps !

Here is the source code that only allow user to upload file. Anyone can give me some guidelines so that my program can download and also upload file? thx.
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
public class FTPUpload {
private static final int CTRLPORT = 21;
private static Socket ctrlSocket;
private static PrintWriter ctrlOutput;
private static BufferedReader ctrlInput;

public final static String DIR = "C:\\zip\\";
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
String host = "192.168.1.1";
String loginName = "testuser";
String password = "password";
String dirName = "/home/testuser";
String fileName = "hello.zip";
ctrlSocket = new Socket(host, CTRLPORT);
localHostAddress = ctrlSocket.getLocalAddress().getAddress();
ctrlOutput = new PrintWriter(ctrlSocket.getOutputStream());

ctrlOutput.flush();
ctrlOutput.println("CWD " + dirName);
ctrlOutput.flush();
ctrlOutput.println("TYPE I");
ctrlOutput.flush();
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(DIR + fileName);
Socket dataSocket = dataConnection("STOR " + fileName);
OutputStream outstr = dataSocket.getOutputStream();
int n;
byte[] buff = new byte[1024];
while ((n = fis.read(buff)) > 0) {
outstr.write(buff,0,n);
dataSocket.close();
fis.close();
ctrlOutput.close();
ctrlInput.close();
ctrlSocket.close();
}catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
private static Socket dataConnection(String ctrlcmd)
throws IOException,UnknownHostException {
String cmd = "PORT ";
ServerSocket serverDataSocket = new ServerSocket(0,1);
for (int i=0;i<4;i++) {
cmd = cmd + (localHostAddress[i] & 0xff) + ",";
cmd = cmd + (((serverDataSocket.getLocalPort())/256) & 0xff)
+ ","
+ (serverDataSocket.getLocalPort() & 0xff);
ctrlOutput.println(cmd);
ctrlOutput.flush();
ctrlOutput.println(ctrlcmd);

Receiver-File-Adatper creates empty files on FTP-Server

Hi experts,
I have a problem with my IDOC-to-File-scenario. My Mapping converts IDOCs to XML-files. Then the xml-files should be send to a ftp-server in New York. but only the filename is created on the ftp-server in New York. but without any content.
At first I tested the scenario with a ftp-server in our company. and it works. the files and the right content were created. so the scenario and the mapping are working correctly.
Have you any idea what the problem is?
Thanks and best regrads
Christopher

Dont use anonymous login. Please provide user name and password.
Also go to adapter engine queue. There see the details description of your message. There it will specify which file got created, on which FTP server, in which folder and also how many bytes XI has transferred. If possible let me know these details.
Also try uploading any other file to FTP.
For this got to Command prompt.
1. open (o) IP ADDRESS
2. User name
3. Password
4. go to specified folder
5. Use PUT command to save the file on FTP server.
If after all these empty files is getting created then contact your system administrator and tell him to check firewall settings. Because there are few parameters which allows data transfer.
Because if firewall problem is there then u wont be able to put a file manually on that FTP server.
Let me know the output.
Warm Regards,

No Data in PDF file in FTP server

Hi All,
I am trying to place a PDF file in FTP server.
Used
CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF to convert spool to PDF
SCMS_TEXT_TO_XSTRING
FTP_R3_TO_SERVER to transfer data to FTP.
I am able to see PDF file in FTP and no of pages matches with that of R/3 but there is no data in PDF file.

To get pdf file , you need to set the itcpo-tdgetotf = 'X' and need to pass in the exporting parameter (options in open_form function module ).Then in close_form function module take all the data of otfdata table into an internal table . Then use SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_OTF_PDF function module to convert it to pdf.
I will show with an example.
tables itcpo.
DATA: ch_otf TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF itcoo.
DATA: w_otf TYPE itcoo.
DATA: w_pdf TYPE solisti1. "For PDF
DATA: i_content_txt TYPE soli_tab.
DATA: temp1 TYPE sx_format VALUE 'OTF',
        temp2 TYPE sx_format VALUE 'PDF'.
DATA: c_printer TYPE sx_devtype VALUE 'PRINTER'.
DATA: w_transfer_bin TYPE sx_boolean. "Content
DATA: i_content_bin TYPE solix_tab, "Content
        wa_content_bin TYPE solix,
        i_objhead TYPE soli_tab.
itcpo-tdnoprint = 'X'.
itcpo-tdpreview = 'X'.
itcpo-tdgetotf = 'X'.
These three parameters need to be passed along with other required parameters
CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'
       EXPORTING form = xformular
                 language = ekko-spras
                 OPTIONS = itcpo
                 archive_index = toa_dara
                 archive_params = arc_params
                 device = xdevice
                 dialog = xdialog
                 mail_sender        = sender
                 mail_recipient     = recipient
       EXCEPTIONS canceled = 01.
CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'
    IMPORTING
      RESULT = RESULT
    tables
      otfdata = ch_otf.
LOOP AT ch_otf INTO w_otf.
    CONCATENATE w_otf-tdprintcom w_otf-tdprintpar
    INTO w_pdf.
    APPEND w_pdf TO i_content_txt.
ENDLOOP.
converting otf file to pdf file
CALL FUNCTION 'SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_OTF_PDF'
    EXPORTING
      format_src      = temp1        "'OTF'
      format_dst      = temp2        "'PDF'
      devtype         = c_printer
    CHANGING
      transfer_bin    = w_transfer_bin
      content_txt     = i_content_txt
      content_bin     = i_content_bin
      objhead         = i_objhead
      len             = v_len_in
    EXCEPTIONS
      err_conv_failed = 1
      OTHERS          = 2.
Then open dataset and transfer to ftp of the content of table content_bin(i_content_bin) as shown in above example.
I think this will be helpful for you

How to read .xls file from FTP server t oInternal table

OTHERS = 4
can any one help me out to get the exact data..
Really appreciate your quick response..
Thank You

Hi, if you really retrieve an excel file, you can not see the data in ABAP. You may see them in Excel. For this you may use
CALL METHOD document->open_document_from_table
of the interface i_oi_document_proxy for OLE objects. You can access the data with reference to the interface i_oi_spreadsheet.
Please check [Desktop Office Integration (BC-CI)|http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/BCCIOFFI/BCCIOFFI.pdf] for details.
But, who knows, perhaps you want "And Now For Something Completely Different".

Hi Rakhi,
Use the below code to check if you have received the proper data.
call function 'FTP_SERVER_TO_R3' "Get data as character instead of BLOB
    exporting
      handle         = hdl
      fname          = docid
      character_mode = 'X'
    tables
      text           = chardata.
If the data is incorrect, it is possible that you are in the wrong directory.
Use
call function 'FTP_COMMAND'
    exporting
      handle        = hdl
      command       = 'cd mydir\mysubdir' "cd <space> your path
    tables
      data          = result
    exceptions
      tcpip_error   = 1
      command_error = 2
      data_error    = 3.

How to get file from FTP Server using File Control

I would need to get file from FTP Server.
Thanks,
Madhu

Yes I have done that. But In FTP Server I cannt read file, because no previliges. Only I need to copy file from FTP Server to local server then only I can read that file.
I tried all options using FileConrol(getFiles(),read()).
getFiles() - It wont copy the file, it give information about file.
read() - I dont have previliges to read the file.
Please tell me any other procedure would be there for getting file from FTPServer.

Reading a file from ftp server

Hi
I am able to put file on ftp server using ftp adapter.But same settings are not working while polling file on ftp.
Do i need to do some settings for get operation??

Hi,
Check the file permissions and for testing give all read/write/execute permissions to the file to be read from FTP. Also check the file modification date of the file.
Check for the logs at 2 places for any error messages:
- SOA server diagnostics logs
- FTP server logs
You can also enable the FINEST level of Adapter logs for adapters and see for the detailed errors in the diagnostic logs.
FMW Console > right click soa-infra > Logs > Log Configuration > expand oracle.soa > set Trace32 : FINEST for oracle.soa.adapter
